Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature
- Naomi Butler

When is the best time to say I love you? One of each of the following sentences is used on each page of the book: When is the best time to say I love you? Shall I say it when you wake me with a kiss? Shall I say it when they're chasing waves across the sand? Shall I say it when we're climbing up the hill? Shall I say it when we're painting pictures in the clouds? Shall I say it when we're dashing homewards through the rain? Shall I say it when we're curled up close beside the fire? Shall I say it when we're gazing at the stars? When is the best time to say I love you? Explore the sweeping landscapes and starry skies as a mother chooses the perfect time to tell her little girl how much she loves her. This is a picture book to share and treasure. Penny Dales's illustrations are wonderful and express the scenes and words beautifully. The end pages are of the beach sand and many things form shapes of shells and footprints. They perfectly express the feelings of the beautiful, heartfelt text. Reviewer: Naomi Butler
